The Umbrella Network offers information and support to families of children with special needs in the Townsville area. We are NOT a service provider but a registered charity that runs on Volunteers. We offer education, friendship and the chance to start turning your childs life into a positive and rewarding journey!

Our Network gathers all the information we can about what is available in our region . We aim to educate YOU on how to utilise the system to your best advantage. After all – YOU are the best advocate for your child.

We don’t sit around talking about Disability – in fact we rarely use the word. We are a group of positive, proactive families who want to educate ourselves and our community – but most of all take some stress away and enjoy our children!

To find out more about what we do you can call us on 4728 3330 or drop in for a coffee and chat at our CHILD FRIENDLY office space at  Cootharinga North Queensland Buidling, Keane St , Currajong TOWNSVILLE
